Re: Asian giant for HC

Dr. Richard Stephens and his team at Keele University in
the United Kingdom just published a study that says swearing actually
has a pain-lessening effect. (See Mom? It’s healthy!) When we swear, we
increase our threshold for pain, meaning we can bear it longer and
don’t feel it as much. Stephens is not sure why this happens, only that
for some reason, “swearing appears to increase our pain tolerance.”</p>

For the study, Stephens asked the participants to submerge one hand
in nearly freezing water for as long as they could while repeating a
curse word. Later the participants submerged the same hand again, this
time repeating a word they would use to describe a table. When people
were cursing, they kept their hand in the water for 40 more seconds
than they could otherwise. So what were the words that made that
possible? Turns out they were different for everyone. “We decided at
the outset that people would give us their own swear words,” Stephens
said. “Swearing is quite personal and what one person finds extremely
offensive, someone else may not find offensive at all.” That being
said, the usual suspects topped the list: s**t, the F word and British
slang – bollocks!</p>

**** yeah!!!

LOL!!

I think it's pretty obvious, when you curse, you are releasing stress. Certain words have become de facto, but yeah, you can make up your own word the relieves stress...
